Chapter 213: Those Items Are Not Circulating in the Market
At around three in the afternoon, when a bus she was responsible for broke down, they switched to another one. There was no need for her to sell tickets; passengers were simply brought directly to the Provincial City, and they paid upon disembarkation with their tickets in hand. Shen Meng was overjoyed, growing even more appreciative of her job. It wasn’t just easy, but it also allowed her to get off work early from time to time.
Such positions, if popularized in modern times, would surely attract throngs and throngs of civil service exam candidates.
Finding a secluded spot, she entered her dimension and sorted out a bag full of gifts, then rode her bicycle to the food processing factory. The food processing factory wasn’t doing so well this year. Not to mention earning foreign currency, they even struggled to sell their products to the local Cooperative Society, and it often took a long time to sell out. The best-selling item was the egg sponge cake, and sometimes, when people bought it, they would even find eggshells in it!
This was an issue that couldn’t be helped. With grains being hard to come by, they had a shortage of fine grains, which meant they couldn’t make tasty products even if they wanted to. Although the food processing factory had limited ingredients, she had plenty, and not just that—she had an abundance.
The elderly gatekeeper burst into a smile upon seeing Shen Meng, greeting her warmly. After all, she was wearing her public transportation company uniform, a fellow holder of an "iron rice bowl" job, so naturally, he was very polite.
"Which young lady are you looking for?"
"Grandpa, I’m looking for Director Kong from the procurement department. You must be tired, so have an apple to refresh yourself."
The apple was big and red, and it looked incredibly fresh, nothing like the small, green ones he got at home. Without any customary hesitation, he took it eagerly.
